When Cthylla is captured by a wizard, she finds it odd that she’s now confined to experiencing time in a linear fashion.
—Michael Main
She struggled. This was not like the hold of the Old Ones, or the gentle arms of the nest, these were tiny, strong entanglements, they smelled like the traps from yesterday/tomorrow.

- Content—I can’t grasp what it might mean to experience time in Cthylla’s world. Is it continual time travel, or is it none?
